He hit .193 in 43 games with the Reds this year.

morning round, and followed with a T6 this afternoon. The bookmakers must have made a killing. This was because of the tremendous amount of money wagered at varying odds that an Amerfcan would win, But none of the strong Ryder Cup players from overseas, nor one of the other star pros or amateurs including Bob Sweeny of New York and London, who holds the British Amateur title, was able to come through. The top-scoring American was Charley Lacey, big New Yorker, who scored a 71 in the morning round to aggregate 221 and trail Whitcombe by five strokes and Cotton by two. Lacey had a 72 in the afternoon to total 293, one stroke back of Reggie who had 292, In the final round Lacey had a par 36 on the outward nine. He scored an 18-foot putt on the fourth and a 15-footer on the sixth but three-putted the ninth. Finally he needed two threes to pass Cotton. He just missed a 15-footer for one three on the 17th and closed with a five, two-putting from 30 feet on the final green.

CAPTURES BRITISH OPE
Local Woman
Scores Hole In One
The thing that only happens once in a lifetime to any golfer happened to Mrs. A. H. Kahler yesterday at the Covitry Club of Indianapolis when she made a hole in one. Mrs. Kahler teed off on the sixth hole, not even daring to hope that the ball would roll into the cup. But that’s what happened, and Mrs. Kahler joined the ranks of golf’s elite. She used a spoon on the 138yard hole to make the first ace of the year on the Country Club course.
